Cuz now Goverment give this job to Indian women's groups which they made in small vilages ! One of them in my hometown they make these things ! Under goverment self reliant Initiative ! They doing good work ! And earning money! Our trade deficit so deadly for our country bro ! Sadly Goverment trying hard to save our each dollars!

Hello, I'm from Vietnam. We haven't declared officially that lotus is our national flower, even though the flower is very close to our lives, and it also represents things such as beauty in my country. We hope lotus will be recognized as our national flower in future.
With all the money available for war, mayhem and destruction we should be able to support these folks in the arts of the centuries! The craftsmanship, pride, experience, and traditions from centuries or millennium of perfection in producing these products is amazing! If the younger generations find more profitable employment, they should less well off individuals to fill in behind the upwardly mobile populations!
I have a silk shirt from Vietnam. FAR superior! Would much rather buy from them. But very rare here in USA. 😔 Would LOVE to get some of that handmade paper!
I was doing with it until it came to eating them. As a Veteran of that country I have to say that they are the most resourceful people I have ever meet. I have a lot of respect for them even after I had to fight them for my life. Not just anyone can take a destroyed truck tire and make a pair of shoes. Or a bunch of spent shell casings and make wind chimes and sell it back to the US Soldier. To the Vietnamese People I tip my hat not in victory but as in friendship.
Солдаты служили свою службу.США палили Вьетнам напалмом,сжигая леса с населением.Мы знаем и помним,Америка отравляла Вьетнамские леса ядами.Вьетнамцы сильный находчивый народ.Они знают о своей силе и возможностях.Желаю мира!
@@user-zc5lt7hk2g I agree with you on what at that time had to be done. I myself am one of the people that is suffering from those poisons. There are always kick backs from war. It is called collateral damage We have veterans still dying from that stupid war and it's poisons.

He should get in contact with Mexico and export orange colored incense specially in the month leading to "Dia de Muertos". He could strike a new great deal like the one they used to have with India.
Thank you for this lively video. I can't help but feel sad tho that so many younger people are not interested in carrying on the craft traditions. I would about give my left arm to have grown up in a family in which such beautiful traditions are taught. I'm not saying every child in a family business should be expected to do only that craft but our world is in danger of losing so much valuable information and techniques!!!
the silk process is really madness, unbelievable how man ever came up with the idea,the amount of work is unbelievable. how do we invent it ..anyway to keep it alive.
So dope to see how he pivoted when times got rough. Since Vietnam is such a large coffee grower in the world it would be dope to see a coffee liquor or some sort of coffee based alcohol

I'd love to visit Vietnam again! About a decade ago I got a cheap ticket to Bangkok andwent directly to Vietnam and traveled from north to south over a few weeks stopping in various places. Fantastic country ans culture, and so easy to travel by train with the locals and see the beautiful landscape pass by. (They even have a whole kitchen car where they make hearty meals offered on trolleys!) Socialism has quite clearly meant everything to preserve the culture and create effective infrastructure and prohects like these featured. It's either that or have the entire country ruined by outsources industry, thank god Vietnam made better choices! I saw SO much beauty and met lots of great people everywhere, the only improvement I really hope for is the motorbikes being replaced with electric ones, the transition from bicycles to moto has made the city streets so smogged I lost my voice in only 7 days. I hope the Vietnamese government will take the problem seriously and help find a solution to transition to non fossil fuelled local transportation. Vietnamese cuisine is one of the best in the world! Beautiful hard working people of a unique culture, if you haven't been there you MUST go! Who knows what the future holds. I only wish I could gave experienced it when the streets where quiet, the air clean in cities and everyone bicycled...
As a Vietnamese I agree with you especially the motorbike part, the amount of motorbike make a lot of air pollution that why I prefer my electric bike much safer and more environmental friendly.
@@amhong6173Thank you, you are very kind! 🙏I hope someday to spend more time there, not just travelling through. It's a wonderful culture and amazingly beautiful country. It's not easy for Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and these neighbors to stand up to the pressures from China and Thailand to preserve their unique cultures, ways of life, they are such rich and massive countries controlling so much of the region. I worry about the future of the Mekong River that is a huge natural resource for instance. I hope to get back again before I'm to old and tired for immersive adventures.
I like the Thi guy. "Well... This isn't working anymore... I could just try and continued... Or I could do market research and figure out how to change with the times."
Unless your parents are Vietnamese, You deserve an award for learning how to pronounce it correctly. Its not easy and shows you are earnest, conscientious and respectful. Id say most people dont even try with easy languages , a few might look up the pronouncia n and hope their memory conjours up something slightly resemblant after one hearing.
It would be wonderful idea if they decided to write down the techniques used in the making of this ancient craft for future generations, it might seem preposterous but you never know what might happen in 2 years let alone a century!
As an interdisciplinary-cultural artisan I always find it amazing that "younger generations" don't want to learn/maintain traditional cultural creative forms. Yet they all eventually want to instantly learn artistic skills on UA-cam then call/consider themselves experts. Yeah right... In my youth and even as an Eldress I'd luv to stand at these artisans' elbows to learn a fraction of what they know.
It‘s not that they don‘t want to learn; the main problem is that these jobs are considered to be „low skill“ even amongst Vietnamese so the payment is very low. Sure, there‘s lots of young people who don‘t actually want to learn but the biggest factor is the time-wage difference of these jobs. Even with the dong tao chickens, you have to invest time, resources and make a name for yourself before you start to make money.
It's not necessarily disrespect, it's more like you need a lot of passion for traditional craft to keep doing them despite not really getting financial rewards out of it, especially when the cost of living is higher now like it is everywhere else. The parchment paper industry in the west is the same as well. It's an honorable craft, but it's only for a niche set of buyers and the production process is more laborious than normal paper. Unless there's a huge unanimous movement for preserving traditional crafts, even older folks wouldn't care much, let alone young people.
It isn't that young people don't want to learn, it's that we are actively discouraged by our parents from doing so. They would rather push us to become doctors or work in technical professions. Even if you are creative, parents push you to seek education in a job you may not even want. You don't understand. You don't get to choose and must respect your family in Vietnam, it's not like America where you get a choice and can go against your families wishes. Most village kids don't have the luxury of youtube either :/
It will remain as long as our Vietnamese praying culture doesn't vanish. My mom's hometown is there and I always see these beautiful red sticks when I come to visit my grandma, sadly my grandma died 3 years ago
Thank Insider Bussines team for introducing the craft villages in Vietnam . Hope you can introduce more beautiful craft works in Vietnam . and I wish to introduce my work about making horn products , and Horn Composite bow in Vietnam .Best regards, Pufacraft !
This is so frustrating. These people sacrifice their life to these crafts and earn pennies compared to the retailers. Hopefully one day they can sell directly and cut out the ever greedy middle men. With the internet these are fast becoming options.
Vietnam is such a beautiful country. I want to go one day and visit a plant market. (I can’t buy because TSA would take away the plants at customs upon my return home lol.)
Amazing stuff I’m intrigued by anything made or produced ancient and traditional methods. I am not a big fan of today’s busy world. I love to imagine living in simple days when life was much simpler with less facilities but fear and tension free time. I do also Those times had their own problems and challenges. I just love to imagine living in that time and compare with my life in current times. This comparison takes one very close to the divine and You surrender trying to understand Divine mysteries of creating this whole drama of creating human life on this earth planet. It’s simply using you energy of curiosity trying to resolve unsolvable mysteries. Amazing!!!
Great video! It's great that traditional crafts and art forms are cherished by some countries so they're not lost. And those chickens were WILD!! tiny dinosaurs you know?? Amazing
In Japan artist crafters like these are designated as Living Masters. They are supported by the government and have apprentise programs. It's sad to see that these artists are left to the ravages o Capitalism. There is continuing need for their products & services. They are not just hangers on from the past whose work is quaint and no longer in the mainstream. And I want to acknowledge the very good work by the videograher and video editor on the inscense segment that runs from 1:08 to 7:17. The solid creativity exhibited by the videographer is maintained by the editor's smooth shot integrety, i.e. the fluidity of the camera movements is utililized to tell the story. A sub par editor would have just grabbed shots making a choppy visual junk pile. I'm sure this high quality is their everyday product. Thanks for the treat. I hope Business Insider can help the included artists connect with officials in Vietnam and global groups to protect them and them thrive.
This is just a small detail, but in the "Dó" paper's section, the narrator says "giấy dó paper". "Giấy" is paper in Vietnamese, so technically they said "paper dó paper" XD. You can say it with just "dó paper" or "giấy dó". The closest you can pronounce "giấy" in english is "zay" with "ay" in "day".
No one is talking about how colonization destroyed many cultural practices like this around the world. Vietnam is beautiful for preserving their traditions while making a living. ❤
As much as I love to see it happening, I don't think we have much to offer. A large part of our culture was influenced by China. Many people see us as the poorer China, not a country with distinct millennia-old traditions. It just... doesn't have that "oomph" like Japan or Korea.
@@imie-nazwiskoI’d beg to differ. we have a lot to offer too - as much as any other Asian country . It’s just that much of it isn’t well known and modernism has faded a lot of our old customs. But, there is so much to Vietnamese culture that makes it unique. Yes, it was influenced by China, but so was Japan and Korea. Last year, if I remember there was an internet uproar because some Chinese claimed that kimchi originated from China. Then, I remember there was also arguments because people claimed the hanbok was also Chinese. So yes, in general there are similarities within these countries with China. But that doesn’t mean that they have their own distinct identities and that they cultures aren’t unique because of that. The ao dai, for example, is influenced by Chinese clothing in the same way that the hanbok is. Korean architecture, values, code of conduct, food, and etc. are all influenced by China (Japan too). So honestly, would it be fair to say that they have a distinct culture and Vietnam doesnt?
@@lotuseater7247 and you don't know much of our culture to say that it the same with China. You get one glance at ours and you think you know all ? It's more different than you think
I love these videos, they are so interesting. I hope the younger generation step up and keep these traditions going. Most people in America lack culture, the only thing we pass on is faulty genes and drug addictions.
These people work so hard & they don't take anything for granted.. I wish Americans were like this .. I feel like we have gotten so lazy as a society and nobody works hard anymore. Some do, but it's rare..
A dumb judgement when Americans are funneled through a system at birth that distances them from art and culture, they don't live that way by choice. How would you know what they take for granted or not anyway? Are you in their minds? No.
@@angustheterrible3149 funneled through a system that distances us from art and culture? That's why people have Art majors and r philosophers in culture & so on.. if you are speaking about how we get canceled and banned from society if we Embrace other cultures because it's considered appropriation now, then sure. .. otherwise I disagree wholeheartedly. Do you know any Americans that work as hard as these people? I probably know 2. That's not many. These people are working their arses off until they're old and brittle and u don't see that here in the us very often..
So, when does a dying trade become an art form? It seems to me, that letting progress, machines, and automation take over the back-breaking work of these processes, isn't necessarily a bad thing. If these traditional products can be made faster, cheaper, and almost as good, then those who used to do the work can move on to get educated, and find other things to be passionate about. With most of these industries automated, those who still do things the traditional way will not just be workers, but artisans. As artists, they could then produce less, but demand more money for their goods. It would be like the difference between factory made furniture, and furniture made by hand.
I'm very surprised that my country- Vietnam is introduced on famous foreign channel. This video only showed a small part of Vietnamese traditional culture. We have many many amazing stuffs you don't imagine. I hope if you watch video, you should try visiting Vietnam once to see various traditional things in Vietnam. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful to see the traditions of craft villages... would love to see someday here in Saskatchewan, Canada
Make it happen
Beautiful!!! I sincerely hope these arts are never forgotten. It's so very impressive in every form.
It will remain as long as our Vietnamese praying culture doesn't vanish. My mom's hometown is there and I always see these beautiful red sticks when I come to visit my grandma, sadly my grandma died 3 years ago
The silkworm thing is so fascinating, I'm obsessed with this lol
Grt idea❤️Lets all be grateful for you putting in hardwork into your videos to make us happy
Что это?
Hopefully, governments across the African are watching so thy too can encourage local businesses and entrepreneurs. Get it UNESCO protected.
Wow Vietnam is very beautiful in terms if nature.
Thank Insider Bussines team for introducing the craft villages in Vietnam . Hope you can introduce more beautiful craft works in Vietnam . and I wish to introduce my work about making horn products , and Horn Composite bow in Vietnam .Best regards, Pufacraft !
This is so frustrating. These people sacrifice their life to these crafts and earn pennies compared to the retailers. Hopefully one day they can sell directly and cut out the ever greedy middle men. With the internet these are fast becoming options.
Right.. very sad
Vietnam is such a beautiful country. I want to go one day and visit a plant market. (I can’t buy because TSA would take away the plants at customs upon my return home lol.)
Look into certificates-I think they’re called phytosecurity? I’ve followed a few YTers who import plants from their travels. It’s possible.
Che bello......tanti anni fa si faceva anche in Italy 🤗
Amazing stuff I’m intrigued by anything made or produced ancient and traditional methods. I am not a big fan of today’s busy world. I love to imagine living in simple days when life was much simpler with less facilities but fear and tension free time. I do also Those times had their own problems and challenges. I just love to imagine living in that time and compare with my life in current times. This comparison takes one very close to the divine and You surrender trying to understand Divine mysteries of creating this whole drama of creating human life on this earth planet. It’s simply using you energy of curiosity trying to resolve unsolvable mysteries. Amazing!!!
Great video! It's great that traditional crafts and art forms are cherished by some countries so they're not lost. And those chickens were WILD!! tiny dinosaurs you know?? Amazing
Thanks for such a wonderful n lovely video with lots of information n facts 😊😊about Vietnam...their handmade crafts ..wow😊😊❤
Phenomenal episode. Thank you! ❤
I have a lot if respect for how dedicated are to preserving the craft. When I hear someone has 40 years of experience my mind is blown
In Japan artist crafters like these are designated as Living Masters. They are supported by the government and have apprentise programs. It's sad to see that these artists are left to the ravages o Capitalism. There is continuing need for their products & services. They are not just hangers on from the past whose work is quaint and no longer in the mainstream.
And I want to acknowledge the very good work by the videograher and video editor on the inscense segment that runs from 1:08 to 7:17. The solid creativity exhibited by the videographer is maintained by the editor's smooth shot integrety, i.e. the fluidity of the camera movements is utililized to tell the story. A sub par editor would have just grabbed shots making a choppy visual junk pile. I'm sure this high quality is their everyday product. Thanks for the treat.
I hope Business Insider can help the included artists connect with officials in Vietnam and global groups to protect them and them thrive.
Люди Востока, очень трудолюбивы!!!! Им некогда лениться, нужно Жить и Выживать!!!
Трудолюбивый и талантливый народ.
我喜欢越南 我喜欢can tho的水上市场 喜欢头顿的海滩
Local everything is the way of the future
Those incense sticks are so beautiful.
This is just a small detail, but in the "Dó" paper's section, the narrator says "giấy dó paper". "Giấy" is paper in Vietnamese, so technically they said "paper dó paper" XD. You can say it with just "dó paper" or "giấy dó". The closest you can pronounce "giấy" in english is "zay" with "ay" in "day".
vietnam is so industrial
Nice work for beautiful Vietnam🌺
Very nice documentary.
No one is talking about how colonization destroyed many cultural practices like this around the world. Vietnam is beautiful for preserving their traditions while making a living. ❤
I'm just glad that our culture is being promoted more. I'm sick of the west obsession with japan and korea
As much as I love to see it happening, I don't think we have much to offer. A large part of our culture was influenced by China. Many people see us as the poorer China, not a country with distinct millennia-old traditions. It just... doesn't have that "oomph" like Japan or Korea.
@@imie-nazwisko japan and korea have huge influence from china too. They are not much difderent
@@HoaTruong-km9rk They are more different than they are the same.
@@imie-nazwiskoI’d beg to differ. we have a lot to offer too - as much as any other Asian country . It’s just that much of it isn’t well known and modernism has faded a lot of our old customs. But, there is so much to Vietnamese culture that makes it unique. Yes, it was influenced by China, but so was Japan and Korea. Last year, if I remember there was an internet uproar because some Chinese claimed that kimchi originated from China. Then, I remember there was also arguments because people claimed the hanbok was also Chinese. So yes, in general there are similarities within these countries with China. But that doesn’t mean that they have their own distinct identities and that they cultures aren’t unique because of that. The ao dai, for example, is influenced by Chinese clothing in the same way that the hanbok is. Korean architecture, values, code of conduct, food, and etc. are all influenced by China (Japan too). So honestly, would it be fair to say that they have a distinct culture and Vietnam doesnt?
@@lotuseater7247 and you don't know much of our culture to say that it the same with China. You get one glance at ours and you think you know all ? It's more different than you think
The chickens are so cool!
This kind of chicken is so rare and exspensive. Eat this chicken is good for your health.and live longer

I love these videos, they are so interesting. I hope the younger generation step up and keep these traditions going. Most people in America lack culture, the only thing we pass on is faulty genes and drug addictions.
Lol omg
I love this kind of stuff, thank you!
Looks like beautiful purple flowers.
I wasn't disappointed.
It looks like a field of beautiful flowers
Seni seviyoruz Vietnam . Kürdistan'dan selamlar
That paper press is awesome..
such amazing content from insider business. i love stuff like this.
Ah I really would love a journal in that natural paper 😍 looks so smooth and silky
Community is cooperative 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
These people work so hard & they don't take anything for granted.. I wish Americans were like this .. I feel like we have gotten so lazy as a society and nobody works hard anymore. Some do, but it's rare..
A dumb judgement when Americans are funneled through a system at birth that distances them from art and culture, they don't live that way by choice. How would you know what they take for granted or not anyway? Are you in their minds? No.
@@angustheterrible3149 bc I am American and I have been surrounded by them since birth lol
..touched a nerve, i see..
@@angustheterrible3149 I love my country but you would be ignorant & blind to say all Americans work as hard as these ppl
We have it made..
@@angustheterrible3149 funneled through a system that distances us from art and culture? That's why people have Art majors and r philosophers in culture & so on.. if you are speaking about how we get canceled and banned from society if we Embrace other cultures because it's considered appropriation now, then sure. .. otherwise I disagree wholeheartedly. Do you know any Americans that work as hard as these people? I probably know 2. That's not many. These people are working their arses off until they're old and brittle and u don't see that here in the us very often..
So, when does a dying trade become an art form? It seems to me, that letting progress, machines, and automation take over the back-breaking work of these processes, isn't necessarily a bad thing. If these traditional products can be made faster, cheaper, and almost as good, then those who used to do the work can move on to get educated, and find other things to be passionate about.
With most of these industries automated, those who still do things the traditional way will not just be workers, but artisans. As artists, they could then produce less, but demand more money for their goods. It would be like the difference between factory made furniture, and furniture made by hand.
정말 대단한 작업입니다
I remember learning how to make paper when i was in 4th grade. It was a very cool process
I'm very surprised that my country- Vietnam is introduced on famous foreign channel. This video only showed a small part of Vietnamese traditional culture. We have many many amazing stuffs you don't imagine. I hope if you watch video, you should try visiting Vietnam once to see various traditional things in Vietnam. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Thanks for Insider Business with meaningful video for my country
Good for him and his people.
We need something like this in America, it will create a lot of jobs for the perpetually unemployed
People get pay for not working in US. What makes you think that it's going to work here?
love
😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃so good
Tết is just Chinese New Year 🧧as a Vietnamese person, this job is really hard and take lot of time , so thank you for show the world the simple job that everyone use today ❤
Lunar new year. China doesn't own this new year...
Tết is Vietnamese new year
Are you sure you are Vietnamese?
Đừng giả làm người Việt
@@quockhang9741 yes I’m born in Viet nam , the calendar of new year in Viet nam is the same at Chinese New Year . That why , we celebrate it giving money to kid , and have tangerine tree .
I had no idea how much work went into making incense!
Amazing work
wonderful
7:17 it's Elephant Chicken
Hopefully next spring I can see the cherry blossoms in Japan, I would add a stop there as well.
These are the most beautiful pinky red colour I have ever seen
I, for one, would love to find out where to buy the silk they make.
This was posted years ago on a much better channel. However, the name escapes me.
SUPER 💝💝💝💝💝
I like Vietnam because as the greatest casualty(& quite unsung) of the USA, it found a way to live in a world with the USA...., & succeed !
Very neat!! :)
